The mini-window is the window that holds the minibuffer, but also the echo
area. Try evaluating this with `eval-region':
(let (resize-mini-windows)
(message (make-string 100 100))
(sit-for 1))
(I didn't bother looking up the order of the arguments to `make-string'.
100 may be made wider than your frame if you can figure that out. ;)
So: there's a reason for calling it something other than "minibuffer".
